claimThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to synthesize observational evidence on tea consumption and hypertension and to explore whether this association differed according to tea type, sex, age, region, and hypertension diagnostic threshold.

claimIn 16 cross-sectional studies, tea consumption was weakly associated with lower hypertension prevalence ( OR = 0.92, 95% CI : 0.87-0.97, I 2 = 62.8%).

claimHowever, these findings arise from heterogeneous evidence streams—including preclinical experiments, trials of surrogate risk markers, observational cohorts, and genetic analyses—and therefore differ substantially in their ability to support causal inference.

claimSuch heterogeneity provides a rationale for exploring individualized tea-consumption strategies, but current evidence is insufficient to support disease-specific tea selection or therapeutic dosing.
